More on Bellevue Curbside Recycling

I’ve been reporting mostly old news lately because I’m behind. I was out of town on business after the election, then got laid off when I got back into town. The story on curbside recycling in Bellevue was published in The Tennessean on November 10. I was supposed to be in the picture but I was out of town. I was quoted in the article:

Barbara Mathieson, a Bellevue blogger, came to Mitchell’s attention after writing about trash dumping areas in Bellevue.

Along with Bellevue Chamber of Commerce executive director Cindy Tremblay, Mitchell worked with the mayor’s office to begin the pilot project, which hopes to have at least 1,000 residents signed up before it launches in January.

While Mathieson said she is behind the program, she won’t be participating.

“My husband and I are really frugal,” Mathieson said. “We have so little trash, and we make trips twice a month to the recycling center. I hope that my neighbors who don’t recycle will see how easy it is to take their trash to the curb.”

Now with both my husband and me unemployed, we’re even more frugal. Well, I am.
